Right -- I'm not suggesting microoptimization. Chase is offering 1.5% cash back on its no-annual-fee Ink Business Unlimited or 2-2.5% on its $200 annual fee Ink Business Premier card. The $200K of spending that it'd take to get UA Gold means $3-5K in cash back not claimed -- those are expensive perks.
